DESCRIPTION:Segregation is usually measured from residential census data\, 
 which records where people sleep rather than where they spend their days. 
 Far less is known about segregation in activity spaces: where people trave
 l\, whom they visit\, and how they distribute their time. Even in cities o
 f unprecedented diversity\, everyday movement often follows habitual\, sta
 ble patterns that may quietly reproduce informal segregation. Integrating 
 human geography with social psychology and the habit-rupture model of inte
 rgroup contact (Paolini et al.\, 2026)\, this study examines how mobility 
 choices shape stable levels of exposure to diversity in the multicultural 
 setting of Sydney\, Australia.\n\nDrawing on a diverse sample of 500 adult
 s from majority and minority backgrounds across five neighbourhood types v
 arying systematically in ethnic diversity\, we combine three-month smartph
 one-based GPS tracking with psychological assessments and egocentric netwo
 rk surveys. We examine whether GPS-derived mobility trajectories across et
 hnically diverse versus homogeneous urban spaces align with participants' 
 attitudes towards interethnic contact and their everyday intergroup experi
 ences.\n\nHere we present the first results from the GPS tracking componen
 t\, visualising participants' activity spaces and describing their exposur
 e to neighbourhoods with differing ethnic compositions. We then set out th
 e analytic strategy in prospect. Latent-class analyses will identify typol
 ogies linking psychological dispositions and the ethnic composition of par
 ticipants' personal networks with spatial behaviour\, distinguishing habit
 ual from exploratory navigation. Major life events before and during track
 ing (e.g.\, relocation\, commencing university\, job changes) are recorded
  to separate habitual from rupture periods and to estimate their behaviour
 al consequences for spatial practices.\n\nBy situating human mobility with
 in individual dispositions\, environmental constraints\, habits and life t
 ransitions\, the study advances understanding of when and why people susta
 in or depart from segregated routines\, illuminating the behavioural found
 ations of intergroup contact in everyday settings.
